  • Chromecast actually mostly sends a link to a google device and then launches it on the device to play; there isnt a direct replacement to that.

    I’m aware of one project called ScreenInvader but it’s unmaintained since about a decade. It offered a web UI where you could paste a URL from any device:

    As you can see the UI was clunky and I guess it’s part of the reasons why it died. Too bad, I like the concept of having a jukebox at a party where people can just contribute to without installing anything, let alone sign up for an account.










  • But Proton is not one API. There is a reason why Valve maintains multiple Proton versions and keeps them around. Cleanroom reverse engineering Windows is a moving target. They are at developing Proton 10. How long can they keep it up to maintain old Proton versions for old games while advancing Proton for new games? Will the workload break them at Proton 20?

    Steam Linux Runtime is a less moving target. Valve bases a new SLR version on every second or so Debian release (IIRC SLR 3 uses Debian 11).
